VEST, JACKET, AND THE LIKE.

T 0 all who'mfz' may concern.'

Be it'known that I, IsAAoABRAMs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vests, Jackets, and the like, of which the following is a specification. y

rlfhis invention. relates to improvements in vests, jackets, or like articles of wearing apparel, and has for its particular object to provide a quilted garment of this character wherein the inner and outer facings are of contrasting colors and having the quilting stitches exposed upon the inner and kouter surfaces of the garment.

A further important object of this invention is-to provide a garment of the character above-mentioned formed of quilted material, and having the sections of the garment united by particularly formed seams which will stand the stretching strains to which this class of garments are usually subjected.

These' and other objects hereinafter set forth are attained by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-

Figure lfis a front view of a garment provided with sleeves.

Figure 2 is an enlarged detail view showinge portion of garment at the edge thereof. i

igure 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is also an enlarged detail viewy showing another portion of the garment including the connecting seam, and

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 5 5 of Figure 4. Fig 6, is a detail view showing the seam connection at the base of the sleeve. y

Figure 7 is a transverse sectional view of the seam and binding taken on the line 7 7 .of Figure 6.

Similar reference numerals in all of the figures of the drawing designate like parts.

These garments are constructed mostly td serve as protectors, and made with different materials and in different designs or styles, some with sleeves and 4others Without sleeves, and embody inner and outer facings having a thickness of padding or wadding therebetween, the several thicknesses of material being quilted together in a manner to expose the stitches4 on both sides of the garment.

They are designed to be worn by women or men.

. The garments are preferably constructed Specification of Letters Patent. Patentd 311m@ 27, 1922,

of materia-l formedv of contrasting colored .inner and outer facings, that is, a light colored inner facing of thin silk, or like material 11, so when `it is worn on light dress Waists or shirts there will be no danger of soiling the garment over which it is worn, and a dark .colored outer facing 10, to engage with an outside coat, and a wadding `comprising two layers 12 and 13 of light and dark color, respectively, the light colored layer being positioned in contact lwith the light colored inner facing, and the dark colored layer in contact with the dark colored outer facing, and all of the layers of material are quilted together by thelines of stitching 14, the stitching extending entirely through the garment so' they will be exposed onboth sides thereof.

The quilting material is preferably made in sheets or large sections, and the sections of the garment are cut' therefrom according to any desired design or pattern, consequently lthe edges of the sections are insecured and expose the raw edges of the fac-JSO ing material and the Wadding.

These' raw edges of the sections are preferably reenforced by over-locked stitches 15, and are covered by a binding 16, whose free edges are folded under and back upon themselves, as sho-,wnfat 17, and secured in po sitionby the through stitching 1'8. l

The several sections of the garment, including the back, front and side-gore Asections, are secured together by connecting the bound and reenforced registering edges with stitching 19 which engages through the folded contacting edges of the `binding.y

Thus is formed between the sections of the garment seams which are strong-and ornamental and will not pull apart although the material used is light in weight.

The material preferably used for the inner and outer facings is thin and somewhat transparent, and through the use of lightcolored and dark-colored wadding directly beneath the light-colored and dark-colored facings, respectively, the colored effect of the facings are not affected by the underlying Wadding or' filling, which, as would be obvious, should a single layer of waddmg of one color be used between the light and dark-colored facings. v

A garment of this kind constructed in the manner above described, furnishes a neat, genteel and serviceable garment, and whose inner face-will not soil the underlylng garments, and whose outer face will not be soile by the overlying garments.

The use of layers of`wadding of different colors underlying corresponding colors of facings also prevent the showing of contrasting colored threads o-r fibers which mi ht be drawn from the wadding by the quilting i stitches.

At a point adjacent the connection of the sleeves with the body, the side-seams of the body are connected with the seams of the sleeves, as illustrated in Figure 6 and at 20 i the binding material of the side seams of the body portion are extended beyond the Zbody portion, are folded to lie under the vbindingy 22 of thel sleevevseams, and are secured`to the sleeve seam' edges and their binding by the stitching 23.

The crossing of the seams at 24 forms Ia reinforcement at lthe arm-pits of vthe garment.

It is understood that the zeig-zag stitching 19 can be used without the binding 16. In

lother words, it is contemplated-where a less expensive garment is desired, to form a buttseam by connecting the overlocked'stitched raw-edges of the material together without the binding, using the zig-zag stitching for the purpose.

It is further understood, that the paddin can be formed of wool, silk-floss, or k'apo a material, which resembles silk-lioss; that the quilting'material can be made into kimonos, slumber-robes, or any other kind of garments which might be worn by women,

men or children. 1 The garments can be made with`, or without sleeves, and the design of the quilting can bein straight lines, zigzag lines, or cross-lined as desired. The garments can be made by hand or with a machine. f

Having thus fully described the invention, Whatis claimed is 1. A garment of the kind described, comprising inner and outer facings of light and dark colors respectively, and a wadding between sa-id facings embodying light and dark colored layers the light and dark-colored layer of wadding directly underlying the correspondingly colored facings, said facings and. wadding being quilted together.

2'. A garment of the kind described formed with separate sections of material quilted togetherand embodying inner and outer facings and a waddi secured between said facings, each of sald sections having its v edges. reenforced by overwhipped stitching, a binding enclosing said edges and secured in position by stitching formed inside of the overwhipped stitching, and joining 'stitches connecting the-abutting and registering edges of the sections together` 3. A garment of the kind described, formed with separate sections of quilted material and including sleeves, said separate sections and said'sleeves and body-portion being connected together with seams formed with binding material enclosing the adjacent edges of the sections 'and united together with a line of stitching, the binding material of the side-seams of the body which intersect the shoulder-seamsl between the sleeves and the body being extended across and beyond said shoulder-seams and interconnected 'With the sleeve-seams.
